We have a new leader in the N.L. as the red hot Marlins fresh off their sweep of Milwaukee has risen to the head of the class. Arizona holds the best record in MLB but has been laying big numbers lately; showing us that the best teams on paper isn’t always the best way to make money. It’s also interesting that Atlanta & the New York Mets have winning records but are still in minus when it comes to profits. Conversely, Baltimore and Texas have losing records but are keeping their heads above water as these clubs have done well as underdogs this season, Texas just took 3 of 4 in Seattle to help their cause.

San Diego, has been killing betters, with their big name pitching odds makers have installed the Padres as decent favorites while SD is 11 games below .500, crushing bank rolls. Colorado is still hung over from winning the National league last season. The A’s are quietly winning games while betters are making nice profits. Seattle is having big troubles putting runs on the board; they need to get their offense moving before the Angles pull away with the division.

Here is a breakdown of total UNITS for the season. (This is based on $100 moneyline bets per team. So if you bet any particular team every time they played this season, this is where you would stand).

It’s time to take another glimpse at who is leading in our baseball money standings. Arizona and Oakland continue to hold steady at #1 in their respective leagues. The Dodgers have made a major move from almost down -800 from last week to down less than $200 for the season, can their success continue?

The Tigers continue their climb back to respectability as they are no longer the AL money burner; the banged up Yankees have claimed the AL money burning title. You have to love what the Ray’s are doing this season as they currently hold the #2 $ position in the AL, the Ray’s have been beating up on AL East foes as they climb the rankings.
